Receiving and Hoisting

Tower Shipment

Unless otherwise specified, AV Series towers ship by truck (on flat bed trailers), which lets you receive, hoist, and install the tower in one con- tinuous operation. Single-cell towers ship on one truck. Multicell towers, depending on their size, may require more than one truck.

Responsibility for the condition of the tower upon its arrival belongs to the trucker—as does the coordination of multiple shipments, if required.

Receiving Tower

Prior to unloading the tower from the delivering carrier, inspect the ship- ment for evidence of damage in transit. If damage is apparent, note the freight bill accordingly. This will be needed to support any future recovery claim.

Find and remove the installation instruction drawings and bills of material (literature kit) located in a plastic bag in the cold water basin. This informa- tion should be kept for future reference and maintenance purposes.

Hoisting Tower

AV6300 through AV6700 models consist of two modules per cell. The upper module includes hoisting clips at the top of the module. The hoisting clips on the lower module are located near the bottom on the ends of the cold water basin. All other models ship in a single module. The hoisting clips for the single height models, AV6100 and AV6200, are located at the top of the tower. A Hoisting-Installationlabel is located on the side casing near the access door and on a drawing in the literature kit. Remove tower from the carrier and hoist into place according to the instructions on the label or on the drawing.

Hoisting clips are provided for ease of unloading and positioning Warningtower. For overhead lifts or where additional safety is required, safety

slings should also be placed under the tower. Under no circumstances should you combine the top and bottom modules of AV6300 through AV6700 models and attempt to hoist them at the same time by utiliz- ing the hoisting clips alone!
